Blood Diseases are cured by | the persevering use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

This medicine is an Alterative, and causes a radical change in the system. The process, in some cases, may not be quite so rapid as in others; but, with persistence, the result is certain. tead these testimonials :— } ** For two years T suffered from a se- | vere pain in my right side, and had | Other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

‘“*X Y” asks me on what occasion Gen. Havelock addressed his troops, as stated on his statue in Trafalgar Square ?

‘Soldiers! Your labors, your priva- tions, your sufferings and your valor will not be forgotten by a grateful country.”

They were the last words that came from the pen of Sir Henry Havelock the day ,after the battle of Bithoor, and were ad- ' dressed to his little army, which was com- | pelled to move back to Cawnpore. There | is a very good life of Havelock, by Marsh- }man (I do not know the publisher), where |iny correspondent will find fuller particu- | lars.

| ++ j " : ‘ | Ido not know why, but Havelock’s name

isuggests to me another great soldier—Gor- |

‘don. Have any of your readers seen a notice of his death which appeared at the time in the London Standard ¢ I think it is worth whi uking a note of MEMORIAM.

‘Charles George Gordo Fell at Khar- i teun 1 January, 1885. He trusted in ,God and his coantry. God took him, his

} country—had a G laistone Government—and | deserted him.”

, ‘* Athlete” asks for the origin’ of the g

,name ‘* dumbbeil,” by which, I suppose. {he means the pair of well-known heavy }iron weights, used for muscular exercises, ‘I believe that they take their name by an- | alogy, from a machine consisting of a heavy | iron fly-wheel, with a rope passed through |and reund a spindle, which projects from one side, the apparatus being secured by staunchions to the ceiling of a room, and set in motion like a church-bell, till it ac- quires sufficient impetus to carry the gym- past up and down, and so bring the muscles of the arms into play, though, I should imagine, ina less wholesome and more dangerous manner than that now in use by means of its iron successors. It is said that a specimen of the old-fashioned appar- atus still exists in New College, Oxford, although long removed from its original position. ‘—

I have in this column given specimens of Macaronic poems and other literary frivoli- ties, but I do not think I have given any specimens of equivocal verses. They gen- erally have reference to politics, and are designed to convey two very different meanings, according to the manner or the order in which they are read, Thus the following lines (a relic of the French revo- lutionary period), if read as they stand, must be admired for their loyalty, but if perused in the order of the figures prefixed, a very different result is obtained :

1 1 love my country—but the king

3 Above all men his praise I sing;

2 Destruction to his odious reign

4 That plague of princes—Thomas Paine;

5 The royal banners are displayed

7 And may success the standard aid;

6 Defeat and ruin seize the cause

8 Of France, her liberty and laws.

One more specimen. At the beginning of the Civil war in the United states the following curious production appeared in one of the newspapers, professedly arranged to suit all parties. The first column is the secession, the second the abolition platform; read across it is the Democratic platform, thus also representing the whole union.

One of the strangest contrivanéés for rer

ple is the prayer-wheel of Tibet. Thomas Manning, the only man that ever

VOL. 24.—NO. 86.

siw Lhassa, who visited Tibet at the com- ‘mencement of the present century, de- iscribes these wheels, which he calls |** whirligigs,” as cylinders turning freely ,On an axis, with sacred sentences and | prayers inside. Turning the whirligig is ‘equivalent to reciting the sentence, and is a substitute for it. The hand-wheel is car- ried always by pious persons, and 1s con- stantly turned, while another kind is fixed on an 2's in the ground, around which it revolves. In the avenues of the temples, he says, there are hundreds of them, which good souls twist one after another as they pass along. hers contain rolls of printed prayers an. are fixed in rows on the walls of temples, near villages, and in streams to be turned by water-power. They are said ‘to have been in use for more than 1000 years. Mr. Andrew Wilson says that the ‘Tibetans are the most pre-eminently pray-

; people on the face of the earth. *‘ They

ve praying stones, praying pyramids,

ying flags ttying over every house, pray- vheels, praying mills, and the universal prayer, ‘Ommani padime 1D, never out their mouth \ German writer gu Lamaism says of this sentence, which liter ally means **O God! the jewel in the

lotus,” that these six syllables are, of ail ithe prayers of earth, that which is most

ifrequently repeated, written, printed, jand conveniently offered = up by mechanical means. They constitute the

jonly prayer which the common Mongols ‘and Tibetans know; they are the first words which the stammering child learns, and are the last sighs of the dying. The traveller murmurs them upon his journey, the herdsman by his flock, the wife in her daily work, the monk in all stages of con- templation—-that is to say, of nihilism—and they are the cries of conflict and of triumph. One meets with them everywhere, wherever the Lama Church has established itself, on flags, rocks, trees, walls, monuments, uten- sils, strips of paper, human skulls, skele- tons, &c. They are, according to the meaning of the believer, the essence of all religion, of all wisdom and revelation ; they arethe way of salvation, and the entrance to holiness.

Liquer Licenses in Boston.

The Boston Police Commaissioners have announced the new rate of fees for liquor licenses in that city which will go into effect May Ist. The figures show a large increase from last year, The fees for inn- holders to sell intoxicating liquors to be sold on the premises was $1,000 and is now $1,500. To the second class of innholders the fee was formerly $600 and is now $1,200. Tocommon victualers, formerly $400, now $1,000. In the second and third class licenses to sell malt liquors, cider, and light wines-the fee jhas been raised from $200 to $500, - ‘To those hold- ing fourth class licenses to sell all kinds of liquors not to be drunk on the premises the increase is as fo'lows: Grocers, $56 to $300; wholesale dealers, $50 td $300; second class of wholesale dealers, $250 to $1,000. The increase in the fees of fourth class licenses issued to distillers is from $400 to $1,000; The fifth class has been reduced so as to inelude bottlers and brew- ers only, tye bottlers’ fees beiag increased from $150 to $500, and that of the brewers from $400 to $1,000.
